While digging around in the back of my fridge, I found a couple of packages of swiss cheese.
They are the sliced Sargento mild Swiss. The use by date on one package is August 2011 and the other is February 2012.
I haven't opened them, but the cheese looks and feels perfectly fine through the plastic packaging. There is a barely noticeable pinkish spot about a quarter inch in diameter on one slice.
Can anyone tell me if this cheese is safe to eat? I hate to waste any food at all, but if there's a chance it could be bad, I don't even want to give it to my chickens.
